Question about ITC 100. I have treated both of my electrics with ITC and
am planning on using it on my large fiber kiln. My question is that I've
heard of folks using ITC on their kiln shelves as well as kiln posts.
Does this work? How does it do so, I suspect it has to do with greater
relfectivity of the heat energy....why does it work on shelves,
furniture and not on hard brick?

Derek, Marcia gave you good advice on the application of itc
on your coneart kiln. I would add this: The itc is mixed with water
to thin, paint consistency. use a sand blaster, siphon sprayer
(about $15 in auto supply store), have someone KEEP THE MIXTURE STIRRED, =
=3D
and wear a mask while you are spraying.=3D20
the main thing is to NOT spray on a thick coat. it should be no more
than paint thickness. it won't hurt the elements. too thick may cause
spalling.=3D20
itc should not be thought of as a coating. when fired it combines with
the material it is applied to forming a new material entirely.=3D20
before firing a load, heat the kiln to 500=3DB0F to set the material.

Derek,
Nils is right. It is easier if someone continuously sprays the ITC. I =3D
have managed with one hand on the drill stirring and the other on the =3D
sand blaster. It is doable.

Thanks for all the good information on applying ITC100 coating. Marcia, it
is a rather amusing image I have in my mind of stirring and spraying at the
same time. I am pretty sure that, in my case at least, I would be coating
considerably more than the kiln with ITC. Probably my arm, maybe the cat..=
